Is Penn Station on the Upper East Side?

From 34th to 59th Street on the West Side is the neighborhood known as Hell's Kitchen (which is sometimes called "Midtown West," or "Clinton," which is its new, sanitized name).

How long does it take to get to Sevilla Spain from Paris France by train?

Assuming that you only take high-speed trains, there is a high-speed train from Paris to Barcelona, which takes 6 hours 15 minutes, a high-speed train from Barcelona to Madrid that takes 2 hours 45 minutes, and a high-speed train from Madrid to Seville that takes 2 hours 15 minutes. All told, this is 11 hours 15 minutes of train travel, but you should also factor in layover times at the intermediary stations. Conservatively, it should take 12 hours.

Flying is much quicker, and likely less costly, especially if you fly into the much larger Málaga airport and take the local 2 hour train to get to Seville from Málaga.
